Thanks for the update txgoogoo! </p> <p>All major updates are very well worth mentioning! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10836#post-97282 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 16:25:27 +0000 txgoogoo 97282@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>FreedroidRPG is an open source role playing game</p> <p>The game tells the story of a world destroyed by a conflict between robots and their human masters. Play as Tux in a quest to save the world from the murderous rebel bots who know no mercy. You get to choose which path you wish to follow, and freedom of choice is everywhere in the game.</p> <p>FreedroidRPG features a real time combat system with melee and ranged weapons, fairly similar to the proprietary game Diablo. There is an innovative system of programs that can be run in order to take control of enemy robots, alter their behavior, or improve one&#39;s characteristics. You can use over 50 different kinds of items and fight countless enemies on your way to your destiny. An advanced dialog system provides story background and immersive role playing situations.</p> <p>The game is complete, fully playable, and can provide about 10 hours of fun. It is still being actively developed, and help is welcome in many areas. People having - or trying to acquire - programming, map editing, or writing skills will find FreedroidRPG to be an exciting, fast-moving project in which they can fully express their creativity.</p> <p><a href="http://www.freedroid.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.freedroid.org/</a></p> <p> The FreedroidRPG development team is happy to present FreedroidRPG 0.15. FreedroidRPG 0.15rc1 comes almost exactly one year after 0.14.1, and brings a lot of improvements: more than 1700 changes were made! This release was done by the usual suspects but also our four Google Summer of Code 2011 students, as well as many people who made their first contribution to FreedroidRPG.</p> <p> Below is a condensed list of the changes that were made for 0.15.<br /> Engine</p> <p> A new way of commanding your army of take-over droids is available: Multi-Bot Broadcast. Now you can issue one command to all of your droids that are on the same map level, making management of a large number of bots much simpler.<br /> Loading a saved game saw a dramatic performance increase.<br /> Armor rules were improved: armor gives you damage reduction. Hit/miss is handled separately.<br /> The Network Mapper in-game program has been added: It displays all the enemies on the current level on the automap for a short time. Remember, you need to have the automap enabled and turned on (default key TAB) to use the skill!<br /> Positional audio was implemented: now you can tell where and how far away that pesky droid is!<br /> The level editor interface was improved, making the process of level creation much simpler and more intuitive: map labels, enemies and their relevant information can be placed, moved around and edited inside the editor and using the mouse, rather through a text file.<br /> The user interface now properly handles various screen resolutions and aspect ratios (this is still a work-in-progress however).<br /> Damage is now calculated and applied to NPCs only when the weapon actually lands, greatly improving the feeling of the slower weapons such as the sledgehammer.</p> <p>above from rpgwatch.com </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10623#post-96217 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 17:37:35 +0000 T Mike 96217@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>good to know, thanks for the update Ben- </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/10623#post-96207 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 09:02:04 +0000 BenSando 96207@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>On September 21, 2011 GAOTD provided the <strong>AthTek NetWalk Enterprise Edition</strong> which has been placed in my Startup folder for immediate use.<br /> I&#39;m somewhat surprised - and concerned - to see all the links that are in contact with my PC during a normal day.</p> <p>It was therefore a real pleasure to receive an email from AthTek:</p> <p><blockquote>Dear NetWalk User,</p> <p>I&#39;m glad to inform you that we have already released a new version of AthTek NetWalk on October 18, 2011.<br /> Please view the new features and free download the latest version from here: <a href="http://www.athtek.com/netwalk/version.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.athtek.com/netwalk/version.html</a><br /> ...</blockquote></p> <p>I installed the upgrated version 2.1.29 in the same folder as the previous program<br /> and <em>the registration is still valid !</em></p> <p>Thanks a lot, AthTek !</p> <p>- Ben </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9387#post-88921 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 08:49:18 +0000 hotdoge3 88921@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thats why I ask a big Thank for the info may be I will just work off line not dial-up </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9387#post-88895 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 05:26:11 +0000 notblocklox 88895@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi, hotdoge, I doubt that you can register a new version with the old GOTD pass word and reg key.

I&#39;m neutral on this subject. From what I&#39;ve seen in the past, GOTD usually makes a blog post either when they have a plum coming up - like they did with Online Armor - or when they&#39;ve hammered out a deal with a developer who has a lot of programs to offer GOTD, like Paragon. You may have seen that Bitsum only has one other offering - an executable compressor. Jeremy may offer that. Hopefully he won&#39;t have the problem of trolls whining because it&#39;s specialized software. Anyway, I have the feeling that GOTD will just let the success of the giveaway speak for itself. Again, I&#39;m neutral. I&#39;m not sure what I would do if I were them. Hopefully, Jeremy will get some business down the road from recommendations and our members who need to upgrade or reinstall later. That&#39;s probably the best we can hope for, but, obviously, that&#39;s usually the best case scenario, anyway, when a developer has only one or two products. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/7538#post-77297 Sun, 23 May 2010 17:51:03 +0000 ⓒⓗⓘⓟ 77297@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Well don&#39;t know if the team will respond but I sure did.
